Hey Shine-Star!

I hope you’re well and I’m super excited to present you with this magazine—my ‘newest expression’. SHINE Magazine has been cooking in the oven for some time, and I’m very grateful to all the contributors and everyone who worked behind the scene to make it happen. Consider SHINE a love-gift from me to you! I hope you like it!

Something really exciting happened to me back in February 2020. After 3 years of hosting the Leap and Shine Conference online, it was time for my next level and it was a proud moment for me to organise the first-ever LIVE Leap and Shine Conference in London and launch the Shine Legacy Awards, including some amazing experts, thought leaders and influencers who came from far and near to grace the stage and shared powerfully. I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart! The ambience at the Leap and Shine Conference 2020 was truly magical—you really should have been there—but keep reading and you’ll get a small sense of how it all went down!

It’s been a year since the Leap and Shine Conference and I’m excited to share yet another Expression. Given the unprecedented sort of year that 2020 became, and we’re still having even in 2021, I wanted to serve up some ‘comfort food’ to lift your spirits, hence I’ve prepared a tasty selection of articles, enlightening interviews, and inspiring features to cheer you up and cause you to think positive thoughts!

Are you salivating already?!

Also, our Cover Girl is not just a pretty face—you’ll love reading our interview with her, where she shares her amazing personality, her work, and the essence of who she is, as a Super Shine-Star! I hope you’ll find inspiration and renewed passion as you embrace your brilliance, and consume the contents of SHINE!

My goal with SHINE is simply to offer you easy-to-consume information, spiced with inspiration, motivation and brilliance to enrich and nurture you—mind, body and soul - so you’re in the best possible mental and physical shape to SOAR into new EXPRESSIONS.

SHINE is quite literarily at your fingertips now and I’m excited to embark on this journey with you!

Stay connected as we journey together to a destination called ‘Your SHINE ZONE’.

Thanks for reading!

To Your Brilliance, always!
